DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Russia's central bank is trying to stay out of the market to allow the rouble to find an equilibrium level within its trading band against the basket, the Kremlin's top economic aide Arkady Dvorkovich said.
"The central bank is trying to stay out of the forex market as much as possible to avoid artificial pressures and to allow supply determine the market exchange rate within the band," Dvorkovich told Reuters on Thursday.
Dvorkovich said Russia was also looking for new instruments to keep dollars inside the country.
Last year Russia offered commercial banks the possibility to place foreign currency in interest-free accounts in the central bank to stop capital flight. (Reporting by Guy Faulconbridge, writing by Gleb Bryanski, editing by Toni Vorobyova)
